Pics are pretty dodgy mate, but looks like a cool kart

Where are you located? Some american places have kits available. Like here:

But all shops should have all you need. i.e. Axle, Hubs, bearings/carriers etc etc

 

[imSRB]

um yeah it holds 2 people but a little tight and theres a 5hp tecumesh engine (ohv). um i was wondering what i should do to it to make it better? any suggestion? and was woundering where i could get a new wheel hub thing cuse the bearings look like there going to go?

Cool Kart! What I personally would do is the following.
Live axle
Bigger tires front-15X7-6 back- 18x9.5-8 http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/4/30/397/4243/ITEM/AMS-Fox-All-Terrain-Front-Rear-Tire.aspx?SiteID=CSE_GBase_397&WT.mc_ID=80003&zmam=88421133&zmas=1&zmac=2&zmap=4243
More power- Clone or engine of your choice
Gear it 6.1 and rev it to 5000RPM and go have fun.
Oh, and brakes -http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Footbrake-Hydraulic-Brake-Assy-200cc-250cc-ATV-Quad_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5637d122b0QQitemZ370303640240QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories But they're china's finest so if you can find better go for it lol

[imSRB]

so i ran my kart today and it ran fine excpet for the band brake it kept popping of the drum? what could it be?

 

[freakboy]

it could be the band brake popin off the drum lol

 

[imSRB]

yeah thats what it is what could i do to stop it?

 

[freakboy]

weld a bracket on either side of it mounted to something ridged so if the band slides it wont slide off. or you can upgrade to hydrolic disk brakes and stop on a dime and get 11 cents back....
